    It’s a history filled walk across Venice. Our guide spoke English very well, gave an interesting tour and left room for questions to be answered. Once we arrived at the glass studio we were amazed at how gracefully the artist made his creations.

  • Fantastic pivot on a wet day

    It was raining when we met Natasha, so she offered to change our tour into part Vapporelli tour. It was a great idea and we could still see plenty of parts of Venice we wouldn’t have explored otherwise. We got heaps of great information about Venice history and current life. Great tips for food, how to use the public transport, and plan a gondola ride. Helped us get to Murano and set up a tour of a beautiful glass furnace. What an amazing two hours. Thanks Natasha.

  • Excellent tour, excellent guide!
